Grocery shopping

One of my favorite things to do it go grocery shopping. I usually shop at Safeway, Whole Foods or Sunflower Market. If I shop at Safeway, I always give myself a little treat and buy a small iced chai from Starbucks - so good! I love picking out recipes of what I'm going to cook in the near future, and I also try to remember to bring my coupons to save as much as possible. When I shopped Tuesday night, I saved a total of $52.02. $42.32 was just from card savings alone (if you don't have a Safeway card, you should sign up for one. They are free!) Your purchases also count towards 'Gas Rewards' so be sure to take advantage of that too! I saved $6.90 from the paper coupons, and another $2.80 in multiplied coupons. Total savings value was 21% of the total amount! Be sure to always shop smart. Hit the sales. It does really make a difference. When I go grocery shopping, as soon as I get home I take everything out of the fridge, clean and scrub the inside/outside of the fridge, then put everything away including my new purchases. Not much feels better than a clean, well stocked fridge!
